Our two-day spring workshop with Fresno Historical Society will enable teachers to get hands-on experience while working with our local and regional resources. Teachers will become familiar with all that our region has to offer, thus helping them to provide their students with a better understanding of where they live. Ultimately, both teachers and students will realize the link between local, regional, and American history.
